Whether the two separate pieces of uranium or the same pieces stuck together leak more neutrons.
Answer to Problem 6A
The two separate pieces will leak more neutron than the stuck pieces together.
Introduction:
The fission reaction in which the neutron produced in one reaction stimulates the other atoms for fission reaction is called the chain reaction.
Explanation:
The numbers of neutrons produces from the fission reaction of the two separate pieces are twice than that produce due to fission reaction of two pieces stuck together.
The neutrons from separate pieces can initiate the chain reaction to double the atoms than that by the stuck piece together. So, two separate pieces will leak more neutron than the stuck piece.
Conclusion:
Thus, the two separate pieces will leak more neutron than the stuck pieces together.

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
